My Cousin Vinny is coming to the Strand...
Marisa Tomei won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar and Joe Pesci proved how funny he could be in this story of clashing cultures...
"What's a Yute?"
"You're in Ala-f**k*n'-bama..."
"How do you cook your grits? You like 'em regular, creamy, or al dente?"
"Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than on any place on the face of the earth?!"
'It's got protein! We need protein!'
'Now I ask ya: Would you give a f--- what kind of pants the son of a b---- who shot you was wearing?'
'So, it's either wear the leather jacket, which I know you hate, or this. So, I wore this ridiculous thing for you.'
'However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.'
'My biological clock is ticking like this!/Lisa, I don't need this...'
'No, the defense is wrong!'
Come hear it and see it all again at the Strand...
Tickets are $10 and available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse or at the door.

Man with a Movie Camera
accompanied by live music
Monday, September 19 at 7 PM
A special event classic movie: Man with a Movie Camera accompanied by Live music.
Silent movies were never truly silent: they depended on musicians to play live music to complement the films. As part of their national tour. Montopolis, a chamber combo, under the direction of Justiin Sherburn, will give us a rare opportunity to experience this in the 21st Century. They have created a new score which they will be performing live along with the film.
Revered as a visual masterpiece and one of the greatest documentary films ever made, Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) was shot in Ukraine, and gives historical context to the current Russian invasion and lays bare the costs of the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The joyful original score by Montopolis celebrates the beauty and resilience of Ukraine’s people and aims to inspire American audiences to support the country in its time of need.
Vertov's feature film, produced by the film studio VUFKU, presents urban life in Moscow and the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Odesa during the late-1920s. It has no actors. From dawn to dusk Soviet citizens are shown at work and at play, and interacting with the machinery of modern life. To the extent that it can be said to have "characters", they are the cameramen of the title, the film editor, and the modern Soviet Union they discover and present in the film.
Man with a Movie Camera is famous for the range of cinematic techniques Vertov invented, employed or developed, such as multiple exposure, fast motion, slow motion, freeze frames, match cuts, jump cuts, split screens, Dutch angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, reversed footage, stop motion animations and self-reflexive visuals (at one point it features a split-screen tracking shot; the sides have opposite Dutch angles).
In the British Film Institute's 2012 Sight & Sound poll, film critics voted it the 8th greatest film ever made, and it was later named the best documentary of all time in the same magazine.
100% of the revenue from poster sales at these events are donated to UNICEF to support the refugee crisis in Ukraine.
Here's a link to a page with a trailer showing excerpts of the film and the band accompanying it:
